Venus and Serena Williams today denied claims that they had fixed matches.
As Wimbledon got under way today, with fans queuing all night for tickets, the sisters denied that they played weakly against each other or pulled out of tournaments to avoid meeting. Venus, 22, told ITV's Tonight With Trevor McDonald: "I enjoy playing Serena as much as the other competitors."
Serena, 20, added: "It's said (we decide who wins) but it's not true." Asked if they ever pulled out to avoid playing each other, she said: "It never happened."
Dude, if you're gonna get into a grammar war you better be twice as diligent with your grammar.
